  • Applications

    Myristyl Salicylate (CAS 19666-17-2) is a waxy ester commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent, providing slip and moisturization in creams, lotions, lip care products, and makeup bases. It also serves as a fragrance carrier in perfumery, helping to dissolve and deliver aroma oils within oil-based formulations. In hair care and skincare, it contributes lubricity and a soft, rich sensory feel. Beyond cosmetics, it may function as a processing aid or plasticizer in industrial formulations, including polymers and coatings, where it can act as a light lubricant during processing. It may also appear in household products as a minor emollient component in cleaners and surface care formulations. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
